Bridgeport man sentenced for church thefts

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Bridgeport man who admitted to stealing more than $1,000 from a Greenwich church during Sunday services last May has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.

The Connecticut Post reports that Angelo T. Younger pleaded guilty on Friday in Stamford Superior Court to larceny and other charges.

In return for the pleas, the judge agreed to credit his sentence for spending the last four months in jail. Younger will be on probation for three years after his release.

Prosecutors say a better deal would have been to sentence Younger to three years in jail.
